Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):


What metrics will be used to evaluate my progress?

a. We'll use the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) as a measure of overall knee health.

b. The Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) will let you pick the activities you wish to improve.

c. We'll also use certain movement patterns identified in your initial assessment as baseline measures to track

Can I put the program on hold if necessary?

If you're going to be away for 7 days or more and can provide reasonable notice, we can accommodate your request to pause the program. We'll handle other extenuating circumstances on a case-by-case basis.

Is upfront payment required for the program?

Yes, paying upfront for the 6-week program fosters commitment and accountability, which are essential to achieving your desired outcome. It's the consistent dedication to the program that drives results.

Is a virtual option available for the program?
